Off-duty nurses ran to help an elderly man who was stuck in his car after a crash.
Merseyside Police were called to School Lane, near the junction of Sefton Drive in Aintree, at around 1pm on Thursday, February 2, following reports of a crash. Once officers arrived at the scene they found two cars had crashed, with one man not being able to get out of his Vauxhall Astra.
The man, who was described as elderly by eyewitnesses, was being attended to by at least two off-duty nurses who rushed to the scene after seeing what happened. Police requested help from Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service (MFRS) to help remove the man from his car.
